Fantastic work!
The R.23 was certainly a good looking design.

IAR 95 Spey
The IAR 95 Spey was a Romanian project to produce a supersonic fighter jet for the Romanian Air Force. The project was started in the late 1970s and cancelled in 1981. Shortly after, the project was restarted again. The project was cancelled for good in 1988 due to lack of funds before a prototype could be built, although a full-scale mockup was being constructed

Letov L-52
In 1947, a Letov design team, led by Ing. Pracharem and Ing. Záhorou, began work on a new, single-engined jet fighter. Their Letov L-52 design would be derived from the twin-jet Avia S-92 (Me-262A-1a), re-using some of that Messerschmitt design's components.A single British jet engine would be housed in a near circular-section fuselage with an oval nose intake. This fuselage would break behind the low-set wings to facilitate engine changes and maintenance. Front-line fighters would be fitted with the 5,000 lb st (22.3 kN) Rolls-Royce Nene. The tandem-seat fighter-trainers would retain the less powerful Derwent V.
Development of the project (and its advanced version designated L-152) stopped after communists had seized power in Czechoslovakia in February 1948.

Interesting aircraft and information Pombo_CZ.

Makes you wonder if the engines went to the USSR for 'studies' and re-engineering.

Didn't even need to. H.M. Government was so kind to sell these engines directly to Soviet Union. :ugeek:
